The scene in Boston was played out for a purpose, and since we are not privy to the intentions of its planners, we are left to speculation. In that situation, we are each prone to impose our own view of reality on that scene. For most of the American public, already convinced that there are Muslim terrorists about who want to inflict harm without motive or concern for innocent people, it is very easy to impose the narrative already supplied by leadership.

I don’t buy that narrative. In the wake of the “death” of Osama, I regard Boston as nothing more than a booster shot.

If Osama was so useful in this regard, why kill him off? Why the need for a booster shot? I can only speculate that our opinion managers had sensed that Osama had lost his punch as boogeyman. Since an election was on the horizon, his death could serve a dual purpose – to clear the way for new monsters, and reelect Obama. Please note that I do not imagine that Obama has an active role in these matters. He’s a pawn, or maybe a knight or bishop, but not the hand that moves the players about.

It helps to remember that our impressions of events and the events themselves may only incidentally overlap. Most Americans have only seen the intended images, and have reacted rationally. The images are brutal, gruesome, cruel shots of people willfully dismembered, a wanton attack on innocent folks minding their own business. This induces rage. As with all hoaxes of this nature, the underlying reality might be staged or real. It is only the effect that matters. That the actors are real or fake is incidental. Their being fake can be a transformative realization for many people. So it is important for novices to the game of opinion management and thought control to see that they are actors. A new world view results.

Since the intent of Boston is to induce rage, the questions then become “At who? About what?” The use of Chechen nationals as patsies is a curve ball. There does not seem to be a specific target. However, the rage was created for a purpose, so our task is to understand that purpose.

I’ll leave it there with a few words from Lippmann:

We are not equipped to deal with …subtlety, … variety, so many permutations and combinations. And although we are to act in that environment, we have to reconstruct it on a simpler model before we can manage with it. To traverse the world men must have maps of the world. Their persistent difficulty is to secure maps on which their own need, or someone else’s need, has not sketched in the coast of Bohemia.

No matter our views of events, we must all – those with standard outlooks and me with my more conspiratorial one – realize that we may be living on the coast of Bohemia. From the beginning of my writings on 9/11, leaving the respected mainstream, I have been asked to supply my alternative reality since mine is so at odds with accepted wisdom. So I speculate, as people demand to know things that cannot be known at any given time. For me it is enough to know that what we see is not real. The details fill in gradually over time. It’s not immediately satisfying, but is the only way that we can, from our limited horizon looking up at reality out of a foxhole, begin to come to a better understanding of that objective reality.

That in mind, in the not-too-distant future I want to tackle the biggest hurdle that exists in my mind: media complicity in the hoaxes before our eyes. It’s confounding, but it is there, so an attempt, no matter how flawed, must be made. It will only be a start, but with that start, refinement over time is allowed.

The spirit moves me this morning. I will describe to the best of my abilities the manner in which the hoax called the Boston Marathon bombing was pulled off. It’s futile, of course, to describe such an event to people who will refuse to believe that anything other than what they are told by authority figures can be true. After all, it was on TV. If it’s on TV and labeled as news, it’s true.

American television news owns the minds of American television viewers. It’s a parent-child relationship, the parent understanding that the mind of a child cannot grasp complex reality, and so supplying convenient mythology to satisfy curiosity. Thus is born the stork, and the Muslim terrorist.

The Turkey/Syria border has been rocked with explosions killing innocent civilians, the work of terrorists. The idea that the Assad government would do these things is absurd to the nth degree. That regime is not comprised of angels. Quite the opposite. They are just not that stupid. Why, when already under covert attack, would Assad go to such great lengths to justify the attack? It’s almost as if he’s begging for a military invasion.

History is littered with false-flag attacks. Some time, when perusing American history, find out what a young congressman named Lincoln was trying to do in introducing the “Spot Resolutions.”

Graham Greene wrote the book “The Quiet American” about his Vietnam experience in the early 1950’s. On January 9, 1952 a bomb exploded in Saigon, killing ten people with dozens more injured. The terrorist act was immediately, and without evidence, blamed on two Chechen brothers the Viet Minh, later referred to for demonization purposes as the “Viet Cong,” or simply “Cong.” Vietnamese Catholics later uncovered the man suspected to be the real terrorist, an American military officer named Scott, who resided quietly in the background. His purpose was to exacerbate the already-inflamed tensions between Vietnamese Buddhists and Catholics.

The weapon used in the Saigon explosion was a plastic explosive known only to the CIA. A small amount, perhaps the size of a Tic Tac box, created the massacre.

Here’s a critical aspect that bears on the events of our current day: When the bomb went off, a Life Magazine photographer was perfectly positioned to capture the immediate aftermath. (I would guess, given Henry Luce’s participation in Operation Mockingbird*, that it was no coincidence.) One of his photos, a man with his legs blown off, was published in the magazine along with the conclusion that Viet Minh were responsible. That photo (beneath the fold) served to demonize the Viet Minh for the American public. Good and evil were reversed in the public mind.

Boston was nothing new, and what’s going on now in the coordinated attack on Syria is a formula that has been in use at least since 1952, probably as long ago as 1952 BCE.

*My apologies for Wiki link, notably unreliable when it comes to information regarding the National Security State. Since it names names and explicitly states the purpose of the domestic covert operation, even as it surely omits the really juicy stuff, it has in my view the credibility of a hostile witness.

Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and one of the founders of what came to be known as “Reaganomics.” Although he has apparently not done much reading about all of the details to emerge about 9/11, he did cross that line, expressing skepticism, and never retreated.

… Every time I write a column that is the truth or the truth as I am able to discover it, instead of hawking the propaganda line, I move up on the list of those who are persona non grata in the Empire.

Consequently, the words below are posted on the English language version of a French blog, and nowhere in The US.

Not too long ago a writer or reporter for the Huffington Post discovered to his surprise that Pat Buchanan and I disagreed with all the wars that had been launched to protect us from terrorism. He asked me for an interview, and I agreed.
